Chapter 2288 - 2283: Before Leaving

Chapter 2288: Chapter 2283: Before Leaving

"City Lord, I’ve remembered everything you’ve said. By the way, I heard from the guards that you’ve been in retreat. What’s going on?"

After discussing matters, Fox Bachang smiled at Tang Ming and then asked.

Tang Ming waved his hand, and another Tang Ming appeared beside him. Seeing the puppet that looked exactly like Tang Ming, both Fox Bachang and Hu Jiusheng were taken aback.

"What is this? A statue?"

Hu Jiusheng was first surprised, then asked.

Tang Ming shook his head, "No, it’s my avatar puppet. I’m planning to go to Source Stone City to gather some people. If anyone is willing to join West Continent City, they should come over. If no one is willing, we’ll ally with them."

Hu Jiusheng nodded and said, "Yes, indeed someone needs to do these things. As City Lord, it would be more convincing for you to personally go and invite and persuade them. When do you plan to depart?"

"I’ll leave shortly, but before I go, I’m leaving this avatar behind. It is connected with my thoughts and doesn’t concern itself with distance. So in the future, if anything arises, you may speak with my avatar."

Tang Ming smiled at Fox Bachang and then said.

"Oh, will your avatar over time develop its own spiritual wisdom, or could something like being controlled by a demon happen?"

Fox Bachang was surprised at first, then asked.

"That will depend on Senior Si Qiong. If at any point my avatar changes, please help me control it."

Tang Ming let out a long sigh. After all, whether the avatar would change, he wasn’t very sure, especially after the interference of the Nine-headed Goose Deer.

Hu Jiusheng nodded and said, "Don’t worry, leave this matter to us." ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Tang Ming nodded and, after seeing off Hu Jiusheng and Fox Bachang, he sought out Hu Mei’er.

Hu Mei’er was Tang Ming’s wife since his arrival in Taoyuan World. Although their intimate relationship was partly due to political alliance, they got along very well.

Especially because of the cultivation techniques, Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er could be considered a perfect match. So this time, Tang Ming planned to take Hu Mei’er and Gehou together to Source Stone City.

"You’re taking me along?"

Hu Mei’er first seemed very surprised and then her face turned slightly red.

"Yes, I’m taking both you and Gehou. Your powers aren’t advancing quickly here, but together, they’ll grow faster. This time, we’re going to invite people, so there’s no need to rush. Your strength is formidable, having you by my side is also a protection."

Tang Ming smiled at Hu Mei’er.

Hu Mei’er took a deep breath, then nodded, "I’ll follow your lead."

"Alright, pack what you need to bring. I need to prepare some materials to carry. After all, persuading those guys requires some gifts."

The corners of Tang Ming’s mouth lifted slightly.

Hu Mei’er nodded, "Yes, shall we depart tomorrow morning?"

"Sure, let’s leave tomorrow morning."

Tang Ming nodded, and Hu Mei’er took a deep breath, returning to her room.

After Tang Ming left, Hu Jiuze’s figure appeared in Hu Mei’er’s room, "I said this would happen, he’ll definitely not take me, but he’ll certainly take you."

"Yes, Aunt, your understanding of people’s hearts is incredible."

Hu Mei’er smiled at Hu Jiuze and then said.

"It’s not some understanding of people’s hearts. It’s all due to experience."

Hu Jiuze shook her head and then took out a blood-red piece of immortal jade, handing it to Hu Mei’er.

Seeing that piece of jade, Hu Mei’er seemed to remember something, her gaze sharpened, "This, Aunt, how could you give this to me?"

"Why not? It’s merely an immortal artifact. Is my precious niece not more important than an immortal artifact?"

Hu Jiuze smiled at Hu Mei’er and then asked.

Hu Mei’er paused and then said, "Then thank you, Aunt. I also have something for you."

"Oh?"

Hu Jiuze was surprised, she really didn’t know what Hu Mei’er would have suitable for her.

"Aunt, please look at this."

A small purple bottle appeared in Hu Jiuze’s hand.

Seeing the purple bottle, Hu Jiuze’s pupils constricted, "This is left by your mother."

"No, I found it in the ruins she left behind. Actually, my first interaction with Tang Ming was due to my mother’s ruins."

Hu Mei’er recounted the story of meeting Tang Ming in the Wilderness.

Hu Jiuze listened intently; after a long while, she exhaled deeply, "Your mother won’t die. Her power is stronger than mine. I preserved my soul, how could she easily perish?"

"But Tang Ming indeed acquired my father’s fragmented soul. Could it be?"

Hu Mei’er looked at Hu Jiuze in surprise, while Hu Jiuze grinned and said, "Perhaps it’s exactly as you think. Before, I always believed that your mother was an unpleasant person because I fell because of her."

"However, Mountain Ghost Granny spoke to me about some things. I feel some things can be forgiven, especially now that West Continent City is welcoming the Demon."

Hu Jiuze smiled at Hu Mei’er.

Hu Mei’er raised her eyebrows, "Aunt, you don’t need to say that, nor do you need to do it. My father and I will not accept her."

"After all, she is your mother. From her leaving this behind, it shows she never thought of harming you. Your father and I can blame and criticize her, but you cannot."

Hu Jiuze patted Hu Mei’er on the shoulder.

Hu Mei’er’s mouth twitched slightly, then nodded, "I understand. I’ll think it over."

Hu Jiuze said no more because such matters aren’t explained in three sentences or two.

If not for this visit from Mountain Ghost Granny, she might not have been able to clear up her thoughts over the matter.

Hu Jiusheng, on the other hand, she had visited, but couldn’t make sense of it. Instead, because of her advice, Hu Jiusheng became more agitated, feeling even guiltier.

"Ancestor Jiuzhe, Master Barton Nake requests your presence. He says the gift he previously wanted to give you is ready."

A little fox with two tails came to Hu Jiuze’s side, wagging its tails and said.

Hu Jiuze smiled, picked it up, "Really? Looks like today is certainly a good day."
